Description

A ninaE promoter drives expression of the norpA subtype I isoform.

Full length norpA is expressed under the control of a ninaE promoter.

norpA cDNA sequences from 519 to 4331 (coordinates according to FBrf0047660) are expressed under the control of a ninaE promoter.

Flies expressing norpAninaE.PM in norpA36 ninaE17/ninaE17 background exhibit a dramatically reduced response to light (lack of a light induced depolarization and on and off transients) than controls in electroretinogram readings although they are stimulated with higher light intensity than controls.

norpA36 ; ninaE17/+ flies that carry norpAninaE.PM have a robust response to light at both 350nm and 520nm (measured using an electroretinogram recording). norpA36 ; ninaE17/ninaE17 flies that carry norpAninaE.PM have no response to light at both 350nm and 520nm (measured using an ERG recording). Introduction of Lpol\Ops1ninaE.PK or Lpol\Ops1ninaE.T:Btau\1D4 into a norpA36 ; ninaE17/ninaE17 ; norpAninaE.PM background restores the response to light (measured using an ERG recording), although the response at 520nm is much great than that at 350nm.

Comments

norpAninaE.PM fails to rescue a polarotactic response to linearly polarised UV light presented dorsally in norpAunspecified flies.

norpAninaE.PM weakly rescues a polarotactic response to linearly polarised UV light presented ventrally in norpAunspecified flies.

norpAninaE.PM rescues a polarotactic response to linearly polarised green light presented ventrally in norpAunspecified flies.

norpAninaE.PM flies are able to rescue the physiological defects in norpA36 flies; the rescued flies exhibit electroretinograms (ERGs) that are similar in magnitude and shape to those of control flies.

norpAninaE.PM rescues the electrophysiological phenotype of norpA36 flies in photoreceptor cells R1 to R6, but not in R7 and R8. The degeneration phenotype of the R1 to R6 photoreceptors is also rescued.

Partially rescues the reduction in phospholipase C activity seen in the heads of norpA36 flies. Also restores the electroretinogram and prolonged depolarising afterpotential responses of norpA36 flies to a more normal response.
